10 Dumb Decisions In The MCU We Can't Forgive
The MCU may appear to be flawless, but we can't forgive these major mistakes...
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the highest-grossing franchise of all-time, and these days, it feels like they can do no wrong. Producing hit after hit and crowd-pleasing movies which the majority of even the superhero-hating critics love, it's no wonder that a lot of fans out there believe this shared world is nothing short of perfect.
While it's undeniably great, the MCU has made some noteworthy errors since being launched back in 2008, and it's those we're taking a look at here. Box office records have been broken and crossovers we never thought we'd see have taken place, but these monumental mistakes overshadow those in many ways.
From creative decisions which made absolutely no sense to behind the scenes decisions which have negatively impacted what we see on screen, the MCU is, in fact, far from perfect. Honestly, these screw-ups are downright unforgiveable, and the fact Marvel Studios has made decisions this dumb is honestly hard to believe.
Heading into Phase 4 and what looks set to be an entire new era of storytelling on the big and small screens, we can only hope that Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and company learn from these, because the still awesome "Infinity Saga" could have been even better had these dumb decisions not been made...
10. Not Giving Daredevil His Own Movie
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige's love for the characters he's in charge of is clear to see. However, he doesn't appear to be a fan of Daredevil; when those rights were about to return to Marvel from Fox, he offered the studio the chance to keep the Man Without Fear in exchange for the opportunity to use Galactus and the Silver Surfer in the MCU.
Well, they said "no," so Feige allowed Jeph Loeb to bring Daredevil to the small screen for three seasons on Netflix which were filled with ups and downs. Now, the character's fate remains uncertain, and the fact Marvel Studios didn't jump at the chance to give Matt Murdock his own movie is nothing short of baffling.
The cinematic potential there is easy to see, and just like Fox once killed all interest in the hero thanks to a terrible movie starring Ben Affleck, The Defenders and disappointing seasons of shows like Iron Fist and Jessica Jones have done the same thing all over again. The worse part of all this might just be never getting to see Daredevil meet Spider-Man!
